p dir="ltr"Blood splattered on the screen as Lydia's eyes watched before popping a handful of popcorn in her mouth. Vicious laughter followed the bloodshed and curling screams as the two dolls on screen waddled out of the scene./p
p dir="ltr"The screen flickered then before turning blue./p
p dir="ltr"Lydia's eyes narrowed. What the hell?/p
p dir="ltr""Hey babes…" a ghostly figure appeared on the screen, a satisfying smirk permanently on his moss covered face./p
p dir="ltr""BJ! What are you doing in there?" Lydia grinned./p
p dir="ltr""Thought I'd drop in. Haven't heard from ya fer a while," the ghost with the most answered./p
p dir="ltr""Sorry, been busy with school and my projects. I haven't had time to call on you and have fun."/p
p dir="ltr""Why don't we 'ave some fun now?" Betelguese wiggled his eyebrows suggestively./p
p dir="ltr"The goth smirked, "If you want, i was in the middle of a good film if you want to join me."/p
p dir="ltr""What we watching? The Shining? Or The Exorcist again?"/p
p dir="ltr""Actually, The Bride of Chucky."/p
p dir="ltr""Never heard of if."/p
p dir="ltr""Well, we'll just have to fix that."/p
p dir="ltr"After calling his name, the poltergeist appeared in the room, permitting the tv to return to it's bloody screen. Lydia rewinded the tape, so they could start from the beginning./p
p dir="ltr""Where da ya want me?" Lydia turned and saw the ghost hovering in one corner of the room, looking around for a chair./p
p dir="ltr""Why don't you take a seat on my bed?" Lydia offered./p
p dir="ltr""Really? Ya sure babes?"/p
p dir="ltr""I trust you, BJ."/p
p dir="ltr"Betelguese plopped on the bed before pulling a box of worms out to munch on. Lydia joined him, fastforwarding through the previews./p
p dir="ltr""What made ya choose this one?"/p
p dir="ltr""Lydia looked up in surprise, "I guess… it was something different. It still is classified as a horror and thriller film, but it has some funny moments too."/p
p dir="ltr""Never thought you were the comedy type," the ghost cackled./p
p dir="ltr"Lydia hit him lightly on the arm, "You make me laugh, BJ."/p
p dir="ltr"Before the ghost could reply, the open credits began as a body hit the ground./p
p dir="ltr" /p
p dir="ltr"***/p
p dir="ltr" /p
p dir="ltr"Betelguese stretched as the ending credits rolled. Lydia yawned loudly as she, too, stretched out./p
p dir="ltr""Hehehe, tired Lyds?"/p
p dir="ltr"She rolled over to look at her clock before replying, "Well, it is twelve forty-five."/p
p dir="ltr""I getcha, time fer bed babes."/p
p dir="ltr"Lydia let out a soft chuckle, "Thanks again for joining me BJ, i really do appreciate it."/p
p dir="ltr""Hey, that's what I'm 'ere fer. Besides, never thought that movie was as good as it actually was."/p
p dir="ltr""Thanks BJ, I think it may have become my new favorite."/p
p dir="ltr""Can I ask why?"/p
p dir="ltr"Lydia laid back on the pillows and thought. Her dark painted fingernails tapped on her stomach as Betelguese watched in curiosity./p
p dir="ltr""Honestly, I'm not sure," the woman replied, "Maybe because I'm a soppy romantic underneath all this darkness, or I felt bad for Tiffany and Chucky because of what happened… I don't know…"/p
p dir="ltr""Lyds, ya know serial killers don't deserve compassion, least of all yers," BJ sat on the bed next to her before kissing her forehead./p
p dir="ltr"Lydia blinked in surprised, "What was that for?"/p
p dir="ltr""No reason, babes. Get some sleep, I'll see ya in the morning."/p
